News, YouTube The only child of the late Elvis Presley may be forced to fork out around $AU250,000 to finalise the divorce with her fourth husband, guitarist Michael Lockwood, because he claims he’s too poor to pay for his own lawyer, the Daily Mail has reported.The 59-year-old claims in court documents that his income has evaporated due to the coronavirus pandemic, and his estranged wife should pay his legal fees based on Californian laws that require fairness in divorce proceedings.Lockwood claims increasing legal fees have already left him more than $1 million in the red, with his only stream of income coming from royalties that “do not total even one 10th” of Lisa Marie’s income.Lisa Marie is not immune to cash-flow problems herself, after the star’s former business manager allegedly squandered her share of Elvis’ $AU142 million estate, and her mum, Priscilla Presley, was last year forced to sell her Los Angeles mansion to help her daughter get back on her feet.Lisa and Michael were married for 10 years before she filed for divorce in 2016, Credit: Getty via ZimbioLisa Marie filed for divorce from Lockwood, the father of her two youngest kids, in 2016 after 10 years of marriage.
